## Description
Hey everyone, This Wednesday 10-11am PT / 1-2pm ET is our weekly digital get together to connect on how we are all making our way through this new era for creative industries and AI among other emergent technologies, sharing ideas, tips, knowledge amongst ourselves. Our group is an amazing mix of creators/ producers/ builders/ some new to this stuff/ some OG/ all of us constantly learning. This week’s guests: Shelby Ward: co-founder of Curious Refuge, a global community helping artists in over 170 countries learn AI storytelling techniques. CR focuses on the "human side" of the creative revolution by helping people find their voice and connect with new opportunities. Shelby believes that the future of film isn't about better tools, but about the people with the courage to use the tools available to them to tell compelling and powerful stories. Colin Petrie-Norris: co-founder and CEO of Fairground Entertainment, an AI-native content studio and creator platform redefining how television is made and distributed. Fairground operates at the intersection of generative AI, creator networks, and streaming TV — combining a marketplace for AI-powered content creators with a proprietary studio producing original programming for major FAST and CTV platforms. The company is building the infrastructure to make AI-generated content a mainstream force in streaming television. Colin brings deep roots in the industry as co-founder of Xumo — a pioneer in FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) — which was acquired by Comcast in 2020 and became the foundation for a multi-billion-dollar joint venture with Charter. That experience — partnering with every major global smart TV platform and content company — directly informs Fairground's distribution-first approach to the AI content revolution.
